If I had to do it over, I would have asked more questions!
Now, we are in the midst of a 2e situation for babybear. The wheels are not turning as fast as I want, but they are turning!!
At the Cahtolic school, there were no wheels to turn. It was a situation where they didn't like my children, had no desire to help them and made it impossible for them to stay (in a nut shell).
My older dd had a couple of issues this year. I asked for advice here and then spoke with the teacher and essentially we got what dd needed and that was that.
With my younger dd, her situation is not that simple so we need testing and have to go through channels to get there. BUT that being said, she has a very understanding, cooperative, interested teacher who genuinely enjoys DD.
Personally, I think this particular public school enjoys active, interested parents.
This is in no way a blanket statement about all public or private schools, just our experience.
